MacBook Pro :: Page Has Loaded The Cursor Turns To A Multi-coloured Ball?

Jul 1, 2009

I recently made the switch to Mac and I'm very pleased so far with my purchase. The little problem I have is lately while surfing the net, sometimes after the page has loaded the cursor turns to a multi-coloured ball and I can't do anything until it's stopped. Is this the norm? as I'm sure it never happened in the first few weeks of ownership.

Sep 13, 2010

Whenever I try to start up my mac book pro I get coloured lines going down the screen. It then just shows me a large image of the power button with the message "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button" I then do this and the same happens again and I go no further.

OS X :: Internet Very Slow / Incomplete Page Loaded

Sep 1, 2009

MacPro 2008 dual quad core and MacBookPro 2.66 mid 2009 both running OS 10.5.8. The Mac Pro which is hard wired is very very slow and many times will time out before it can load a page or will only load part of the page (lots of little boxes with question marks in them or page loads part of the way and stops)and the wheel just keeps spinning. Sometimes I can hit the x and reload and it will work just fine. Sometimes, this does not help. The MacBook Pro which is wireless behaves the same way.

The Internet Setup: DSL line runs from wall to Surewest (ISP) router, then out to a 5 port Dlink switch. From the switch I run straight into the Mac Pro and to the Airport Express. The Airport Express is about 2.5 years old. It runs b/g while the MacBook Pro has draft N capability. I noticed that since I replaced my older MacBook Pro which was b/g, the new one shows a much stronger signal, which is why I can't understand why its slower.

The Testing: I don't think its my ISP because when I run speedtest.net, I get what I always get, 3mb/s download and I have run that test many, many times over the last few days. The only change has been in the ping. It used to be consistently 16-17 ms and now it varies going as high as 24-26 ms. I have no clue if that is indicative of a problem. Data downloads, including iTunes work just fine. The only other change was that this weekend, I downloaded xmarks (formerly foxmarks) to unify and coordinate my bookmarks across both computers. I have since run the xmarks uninstaller on both machines and deleted the online account. However, it has not made any difference.

Attempted Solutions: I already rebooted the Airport Express and changed the channel from auto to a higher number. No effect. I will reboot the ISP modem tonight. I am also considering uninstalling and reinstalling Safari with the thought that xmarks somehow screwed it up, but I also had the problem in Firefox in which I did not install xmarks. If I pull the Safari bookmark.plst file before I uninstall Safari, I should be able to just drop it in to the fresh install and keep my bookmarks. Someone suggested that I switch to Open DNS. This is beyond my area of expertise so to speak, so I am a little afraid to mess with it.

Mac Mini :: The Little Rainbow Beach-ball Is Showing Up Instead Of The Cursor?

Apr 22, 2012

I just bought a new Mac Mini and instead of the arrow cursor showing up, that annoying rainbow ball thing is there to take its place .I am becoming so annoyed. My old Mac (which was an OS X) did the same thing, but after leaving it alone the rainbow beachball went away.

The only thing that I just recently downloaded was adobe flash player! The rainbow ball only comes up when I've spent a good half hour on the computer. But after it shows up, it never goes away. And since I just bought the Mac mini I dont know how to shut it down properly, so I just press the power button that is located on the back of the Mini, after I do that the little light in the front fades and comes back again and then fades. Is shuting the Mini down like that making the little rainbow ball appear?And just yesterday my friend (Who is not good with computers) Did something that made the window that I was on big. The window covered the whole screen and just froze there. So I just pressed the ESC button and everything went back to normal. Then after that the rainbow ball showed up.

Software :: Merging Multi - Page Pdfs In Preview

Jun 13, 2009

I have read on a lot of forums that it is possible to merge AND SAVE multi-page pdfs with preview. I can get all of the images I want, but when I go to save as pdf in the print menu, it only shows ONE page. I have seen tutorials online and I have followed them step-by-step (I have Leopard 10.5.6), and simply cannot make this work - it will only save one page.

I have Adobe in my parallels but I absolutely loathe opening it because it brings my computer speed down to a crawl.

Please, if someone knows of a workaround for this, let me know! I am taking tons of screen shots and trying to merge them as pdfs in a quick way so I can send back and forth with my web designer.

MacBook Pro :: Why Are Multi-page Word Docs "printing" To Separate .pdf Files

Feb 1, 2012

I run Microsoft Office on my MacBook Pro.  I routinely "print" Word documents to .pdf files.  My conversions to .pdf are now resulting in two .pdf documents rather than one multipage document.  For example, a two page Word document about puppies would be converted Puppies and Puppies.2 rather than just one 2-page .pdf file.  A 14-page file just also saved as two separate .pdf files; the first was only one page, and the second contained the other 13 pages.  This is a new problem as of tonight; I've never previously had any difficulty.  It's quite frustrating, and I can't seem to determine the cause.

Applications :: ICal - Multi Day Events Span Multi Days In Month View

Apr 27, 2007

If I have an event, starting on Friday, going on Saturday and and finishing Sunday, is it not possible to get this to show in the month view? I know it shows up in the weekly view, but it would be more helpful for me to have it up show up like this so I can get an overview of the month's forthcoming events. Or if it, are there any mods/addons etc that can enable this?

Applications :: Multi OS User Environment - Using Multi Partition External Drive?

Oct 25, 2009

I'm thinking of making the jump and making my first Apple computer purchase. Time machine will be a welcome native backup solution, especially since I can do it over the network automatically. However, I've read that Time Machine naturally requires HFS+ formatted disks. But I will still have my Win7 laptop for gaming purposes, and of course that requires NTFS or FAT32 for writability. My question: Can I just take a TM compatible external drive, split it into two partitions, and then specify that each computer backup onto its own partition with its own file system?

Nov 11, 2010

I've been having this problem for the last few weeks intermittently, and occurs whenever I bring my Macbook Pro (17 � 5,2 � 10.6.4) awake from sleep, or sometimes just when I switch it on.

It is a bit difficult to describe, so here is a picture:

I have to hard-reset the laptop to fix this each time...

Do I need to send it away for repairs or is this something that I could fix myself?

MacBook Pro :: Randomly Coloured Pixels Appearing On LED When Attempt To Open Or Preview Media File

Jun 19, 2014

I recently had to switch out the hard drive on my Early 2011 13" MacBook Pro.  When I got the computer back from the Apple Store I began loading my old content onto the machine.  When previewing and opening files, they would appear with randomly coloured splotches of pixels on them.    This continues to happen when browsing folders on my machine. 

The files do not show up with splotches on other computers, and are not in the same places each time I open the file, which leads me to believe they are problems with my machine and not the files themselves. 

I hypothesise this is the graphics card, but I don't know enough about the hardware.

See examples below.

OS X Mavericks :: How To Search For Coloured Tags

Sep 2, 2014

I have often been amazed by the speed and accuracy of Searching for Files on my MacBookPro. 

As powerful as this SEARCH facility is, recently I wanted to search for a file that I knew had a RED tag assigned to it. 

I couldnt find how to do that, it sounds so simple, but, as far as I can see, it cannot be done !!! 

I would have thought that it should be easy to do, it is quite an important and useful thing to do, to be able to add coloured TAGS to files, so why can't I search for them, by colour ?

MacBook :: Screen Pops Open Like It Is Spring Loaded?

Dec 23, 2009

I took my laptop in yesterday because there was dust inside the screen and they replaced the whole screen and top. However, it now pops open when I pick it up. I'm a student, so it gets carried all over the place in my backpack and I can't have it popping open all the time. It's not upside down or anything, its just when I pick it up. I am leaving to go back to school in a week and I can't drive the 1.5 hours back to the mall again. What can I do? Duct tape?

Also, if I have a campus authorized retailer, can they do repairs?
